Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 35-47., A radical rethinking of how to bring about rural development has been in process over recent years. Many essential elements of what could be called a new approach to development have been identified. The major thesis of this paper is that the nature of this new approach demands a correspondingly new approach to planning for development. Without a new planning system, the changes underlying the new development philosophy are not likely to be implemented. The purpose of this paper is to outline the basic feature of such a planning system, and to indicate how this system is inextricably linked with the hoped for developmental changes. (original).

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 711-724., Started spontaneously by a couple of village women cassava workers, in reaction to a social injustice that was being perpetrated in our village, the group had no other objective, at first, than wanting to solve that particular problem. The solution they worked out - a cooperative, economic one - soon attracted a large number of other villagers. Together they became the Bantu Society. Economic success and interaction within the group also made them generally aware of the social underdevelopment of their families, and this led to a wide range of socio-economic activities which now comprise a closely-integrated village development programme.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 725-732., Rural development can be described as an integrated approach to improve the quality of life of the people in the rural community by means of not only physical development but also human resources development with a strong policy as a national program. In order to achieve rural development effectively, it is necessary to integrate every governmental agency and institution as well as civil organizations to focus their attention on all multi-dimensional elements for rural prosperity. In this point of view, the integrated rural development program in Korea called Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement), which is first priority of the national action program, will be suitable example for a case study to those who are interested in the field.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 15-34., This paper examines what modification, in the concept of planning, would be needed if Districts were to have far more discretion in adopting nationally-conceived programmes to real local needs and also in particular to local initiatives and localised programmes which may emerge from local diagnosis and consultations with farmers. The paper distinguished between executive planning (where the government controls the executive changes, e.g., building a dam) and enabling planning (where the objective is to increase any output by farmers which the government can control or plan in detail because the response of farmers to offers and persuasion is wholly in the discretion of the farmers themselves). The paper considers how plans which must necessarily be made at the centre and proposals which must necessarily come from the farmers can be reconciled. (original)

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 771-786., This study involved a socio-economic appraisal of four important components of the Uruli Kanchan project operated by the Bharatiya Agro-Industries Foundation. Analysis of primary and secondary data indicated that success was being achieved. The careful identification and design of programmes based on local resources and needs was seen to be very important for the attainment and sustaining of viability. Integrated rural development projects of the Uruli Kanchan type are undoubtedly capable of significantly improving the quality of rural life in the catchment areas. (original)
